<P>Hi Maria,</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>I spoke with the agent on your ticket and&nbsp;when you submitted your profile initially, it wasnt completed. &nbsp;It looks as though you now have made the necessary&nbsp;updates and your profile is currently being reviewed. You should receive notice soon.</P>

I took a look at your profile. I don't see any red flags,<BR /><BR />I think you just need to be patient. Wait at least two weeks total before worrying.<BR /><BR />Meanwhile, work on your portfolio. Tricky, yes, given your stated job skills, but you're smart. You can figure something out.<BR /><BR />I think your profile text is a bit confusing in terms of communicating what it is you will do FOR ME, THE CLIENT.<BR /><BR />But it's not bad. I would say you appear to be more of an asset to Upwork and to potential clients than 90% of new contractors whose profiles I have looked at.Wed, 10 Jun 2015 05:00:57 GMThttps://community.upwork.com/t5/New-to-Upwork/How-can-I-know-that-my-profile-is-approved/m-p/85650#M70296prestonhunter2015-06-10T05:00:57ZRe: Profile Review is taking too longhttps://community.upwork.com/t5/New-to-Upwork/How-can-I-know-that-my-profile-is-approved/m-p/85693#M70297

<P>Hello,</P><P>I'm having the same problem. It has been more than 12 hours since setting up the profile. I check my email constantly including the spam folder. I have a client that invited me to work for him, but requested we use the Upwork system in order to do the project. So I can't actually start on it until I can submit to his job posting. Just worried my approval process won't be done until after Thanksgiving. Please help. thank you!</P>Wed, 25 Nov 2015 05:26:03 GMThttps://community.upwork.com/t5/New-to-Upwork/How-can-I-know-that-my-profile-is-approved/m-p/138168#M91170belle-herrera2015-11-25T05:26:03ZRe: Why is it taking so long to review my profile?https://community.upwork.com/t5/New-to-Upwork/How-can-I-know-that-my-profile-is-approved/m-p/138183#M91171

<P><SPAN style="font-weight: 400;">Hi Emi,</SPAN></P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P><SPAN style="font-weight: 400;">Before your profile can be approved you may need to replace your profile picture with an actual photo of you, revise your profile title and&nbsp;</SPAN><SPAN style="font-weight: 400;">expand your profile overview with more information about&nbsp;your skills and experience. Make sure your overview, title, name, certifications, employment and education history sections do not have spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors, and the words are capitalized where appropriate.</SPAN></P>

<P>Hello,</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I am having the same issue. I created a profile 1 day ago, and it still says to wait 12 hours for approval. I haven't received any word on what to do differently, or how I might improve my profile to ensure approval. Am I missing something?&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Thank you,</P><P>Zeeshan M.
